Bedrock server ecosystem

The ecosystem for Bedrock servers.

Open-source server software, native plugin APIs, and cross-version protocol translation - built to compose, maintained in the open. For the players who play on them and the operators who run them, the experience both deserve.

class WelcomePlugin(Plugin):
    prefix = "Welcome"
    api_version = "0.11"

    def on_enable(self) -> None:
        self.register_events(self)
        self.logger.info("Plugin enabled")

        event.player.send_message(f"Welcome, {event.player.name}!")
The stack

One ecosystem. Three projects.

Run Endstone. Bridge protocol versions with Endweave. Multiplex servers with Endgate. Each ships as an independent project - built to compose.

Stable

Endstone

A modern Bedrock server with native C++ and Python plugin APIs. Vanilla-compatible. Production-ready.

Stable

Endweave

Protocol translator. Clients on one Bedrock version connect to servers on another - packets rewritten in flight.

Coming soon

Endgate

Multi-server gateway for the Endstone stack. In development.

Plugin API

From pip install to first event in 30 seconds.

Endstone ships first-class Python bindings on top of its native C++ core. Write plugins in the language you already know - distribute them as wheels. No Java, no Gradle, no JVM.

  • Native C++ for the server core, Python for plugin logic.
  • Wheels publish to PyPI. Install with one command.
  • Events, commands, scheduler, permissions - all idiomatic Python.
